Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polypropylene cup manufacturing technology, specifically a polypropylene cup forming mold with adjustable wall thickness. Background Technology

[0002] A polypropylene cup is a cup or container made of polypropylene, a common thermoplastic with excellent chemical stability, high temperature resistance, and processing performance. A polypropylene cup molding die is an industrial mold equipment specifically used to produce cups or containers made of polypropylene. This mold is based on injection molding or thermoforming processes, which use processing pressure and temperature to shape molten polypropylene plastic into the desired cup shape.

[0003] Traditional polypropylene cup molding molds have the problem of not being able to adjust the cup thickness. Cups have diverse applications, and different uses require different cup thicknesses. Traditional polypropylene cup molding molds can only produce cups of one thickness, which has certain limitations in application. In addition, traditional polypropylene cup molding molds also have the problem of not being able to cool the cup. If it cannot be cooled in time, the molded cup may collapse or warp due to its own weight or external force when demolded. Insufficient cooling may cause the polypropylene molecular chains to not be fully shaped, making the cup more prone to breakage when subjected to compression, bending or impact.
